Case study: Discovery Miles in action
Thabo* has a Discovery Miles discount of 10%. He buys a R200 prepaid electricity voucher every month in his banking app. Because he uses his Discovery Miles, he only pays R180, thanks to his discount.
Over 12 months, Thabo pays an equivalent of R2,160 for prepaid electricity that would have cost him R2,400 if he paid with cash. He saves R240, which means he gets more than a month of free electricity every year!
Be like Thabo. Buy your prepaid products with Discovery Miles.
